8 apps made for on-the-go shoppers

StyleIt allows you to take a photo of a piece of clothing -- say, a blouse -- and the app culls other pieces (pants, shoes, earrings, scarves, handbags and so on) that you can buy from more than 450 top brands (including Tory Burch, BCBGMaxAzria, Kate Spade) and retailers across the country (Macy's, Nordstrom, Forever 21, J. Crew, H&M and more). Photo Credit: StyleIt
